FT847 160 and 80 MHz

More information needed.? Where does it show error? On what frequencies? On Fri, 14 Oct 2022, 15:36 Jeff M0UHF, <jeff.elliott45@...> wrote: Hi, I have just received a ft847 and I have noticed it does not work and shows error as if it was out of band on 160m and 80m. Please can somebody advise.? |
开云体育I’m not sure about the question you are asking me I have put this frequency in the title and in the message 160 m and?80 m. The error appears across the screen as if it was out of band as it would, if you were trying to transmit out of band. Whereas 160 m and 80 m are not out of band. This only happens if I were to try and TX.? Jeff (M0UHF)

Hi Jeff,? normally shows error when trying to tx out of band as you say.? Have you done a reset, that quite often cures things.? Power off, FAST and LOCK? held in, power on. See if that cures it. It may be set for duplex to an out of band tx frequency. Andy On Fri, 14 Oct 2022 at 18:01, Jeff M0UHF <jeff.elliott45@...> wrote:

开云体育Hi Andy,
I haven’t done a reset yet, but I wanted to do a partial reset, but I’m not sure how to do that just yet as I want to keep the memories I have just put in manually. Thanks for your advice.
I did wonder if maybe if this was a Japanese or an American import and that’s why it didn’t transmit and went out of band error. that was my thoughts!!! Good shout on the TX out of band, but I did check every single setting and could not find anything
associated with anything like that. But you never know?

I don't think it is possible to do a partial reset to retain memories. You can do a reset to delete memories, but retain settings, but not the other way around. Time to get out a pencil and paper and note down memories methinks. Andy On Fri, 14 Oct 2022 at 18:16, Jeff M0UHF <jeff.elliott45@...> wrote:

开云体育Good morning Andy, Denis and others. I have a bit the bullet and decided to copy my memories and manually re-write them. I reset the radio. Using menu, 35 as the manual suggests. And Not turning the radio on holding buttons as you would on other radios. The outcome is it all works as it should now on 160m 80m and 4m.?One thing I will say what I do remember is when I was setting the radio up, it was behaving a bit strange on some menus, but the radio is unfamiliar to me so I wasn’t sure and another thing I thought was strange was the tuner was displayed on the screen.
I didn’t know if it was permanent or whether it shouldn’t be there, but it turns out to have disappeared now, and things have gone right.?
Next step is to do some mods on it. Is there any suggestions?
All the best guys, hope this helps somebody from my experience.? 73’蝉

That rather sounds like previous owner had a tuner with it, and could explain error signal. Radio was looking for something not there. Unfortunate you had loaded memories before resetting.?
